报告摘要

The Myanmar Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) was a 2007 study based on a school sample from grades 7-10, totaling 2,007 students aged 13-15. It used a two-stage cluster sampling design with high response rates (100% school/class, 95.2% student), producing nationally representative data on tobacco use and determinants.

Tobacco Use Prevalence:
- 14.7% of students ever smoked cigarettes (boys: 23.4%, girls: 6.3%).
- 15.3% currently used any tobacco product (boys: 22.5%, girls: 8.2%); this includes 4.9% smoking cigarettes and 14.1% using other products.
- 11.4% of never smokers are likely to initiate smoking next year.
Exposure to Secondhand Smoke (SHS):
- Over one-third (34.1%) live in homes where others smoke present; 46.4% are exposed elsewhere, and 48.4% believe SHS is harmful.
- More than 2 in 5 students have parents who smoke (44.2%), and SHS exposure is a concern.
Attitudes and Knowledge:
- 88.9% of students support banning smoking in public places.
- 48.4% believe smoking should be banned due to health risks.
- High cessation意愿: 83.0% of current smokers want to stop, and 88.1% have tried quitting in the past year.
Other Determinants Drawn From:
- Media and advertising: 93.4% saw anti-smoking messages, but 63.8% saw pro-tobacco ads.
- School factors: 65.4% were taught about smoking dangers in class.
Implications:
- High rates of tobacco use and SHS indicate a need for comprehensive school-based tobacco control programs, including education on risks and promotion of clean environments.
